    It has been raining all week and our parks are soggy! I never thought I'd say this, but today there was NOTHING I needed or wanted :eek: at Target so the boys and I were stuck at home all day. We played a lot in the morning and they helped me do laundry. This afternoon they wouldn't nap! After playing with Play Doh and eating snack they seemed bored. I pulled out the paints and for the first time let them paint w/out being in the high chair. My parents got them the art table for Christmas and it was great! I laid a towel down underneath and they stayed still and painted for about 30 mins! They had a blast! It wasn't a bad clean up either. I washed their hands at the sink and they headed off to bed! What a great afternoon!

    Here's a video of them painting!

    Thanks for letting me share our great day!

    ETA: Their smocks are from the IKEA bib section and they are WONDERFUL!!!

    Wow I'm super impressed! There is no way my girls wouldn't try to walk off and paint the couch or walls! Your boys are great artists :)

    You're brave!!!! I've yet to paint with them at home. They get to do all the fun, artsy stuff at daycare & I don't have to worry about clean up :)! Hopefully those paintings are hanging on a wall somewhere because it looks like they were doing a GREAT job!!
